03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 35 | 5 x 7 is 35; 30 is 5 x 6, one group short. |
| 2 | 36 | 9 x 4 is four nines added, that is 36; 32 would be 8 x 4. |
| 3 | 70, correct | 10 x 7 is 70, which is right; multiplying by 10 appends a zero. |
| 4 | 48 | 8 x 6 is 48; 42 is 7 x 6, so the wrong row was recalled. |
| 5 | 0 | Any number times zero is zero; 7 comes from adding zero instead of multiplying. |
| 6 | 29 | Multiply first: 4 x 6 is 24, plus 5 makes 29; 44 comes from 4 x 11. |
| 7 | 54 sweets | 6 x 9 is 54 sweets; 15 comes from adding 6 and 9 instead of multiplying. |
| 8 | 56 seats | Seats per row times rows: 8 x 7 is 56; 15 comes from adding 8 and 7. |
| 9 | 72 dollars | Price times quantity: 9 x 8 is 72 dollars; 17 comes from adding 9 and 8. |
| 10 | 18 | 3 x 6 means three sixes: 6 + 6 + 6 = 18; 9 is just 3 + 6, while multiplication adds equal groups. |
04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
